I picked up a box of full accurate conversions at a price I couldn't pass by. I've owned alot of the jiggy and squidder size as well as Magnums and a few 6/0s. This has me stumped. It's a purple 4/0 narrow with a cut out for some kind of plate on the right side. It's not a Magnum! I've never seen this before and wonder if it's a piece I need to track down or manufacture before I put it back together. As you can see it doesn't go through the edge so no water intrusion issues.

Yeah. Kinda odd that the plate seems to have an even circumference. The ones I've seen, have a kinda bulge where the ss gear cover screws in. I'd use somethin(plastic?) in there, to keep saltH2O oudda there. Pack with grease?...Gfish

Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

That cutout was intended for a piece of stainless, and I've had a few that did have the piece, and some without. I think accurate decided it wasn't needed, but if you see it with the plate installed, you'll see it does fill a gap to stop water intrusion. Without the plate in the cutout, water intrusion is very possible. I put some extra grease in there to help keep water out.
